My husband has an addiction you may be familiar with – its called Groupon. If you know anyone else with this particular addiction you know that means that all restaurant Groupons are targets. Restaurants that we’ve never been to before are even more so. So, he buys this Groupon to a restaurant we have never been to before and is only open for dinner two nights per week. So naturally it’s imperative we eat there, and fast! It’s a good, down home cooking kind of place with a “Bean Bar” on Thursday nights and steak fingers with mashed potatoes and gravy on the menu. Mmmmmm. It should be obvious where this is going but in case it’s not, let me decode this much: yummy breaded fried steak fingers = breaded fried BEEF fingers (whereby beef = agony). I really stink at algebra, but that equation I get….and ignored.
When the alarm went off this morning, I could hardly rouse enough to turn it off. It’s hardly the worst day I’ve had with Fibro but it has been the worst I’ve had since starting with the oils. So it was a disappointing day. But it was made better by a Healing Oils of the Bible Class (based on a book by David Stewart, Ph.D.) My whole family went with me and we all came home smelling like frankincense, hyssop, myrrh, and 11 other ancient oils. I really love hyssop! After coming home we engaged in our favorite friday night activity; We move our king size mattress into the living room and we all “camp out” on it, and the sectional, and watch movies. This is your friendly neighborhood spiderman projected on our 30ft wall. 🙂 Good for the soul.
The only change, yesterday, from my regular routine was the beef consumption, and maybe one or two (or four) snack cakes earlier in the week. Seriously people, our food is killing us and I know better. Since I have no resistance to snack cakes it would probably be best if we stopped buying them. This diet abuse is registering in my gut as well as the rest of my body.
I added more nutmeg to my blend today so we’ll see what that does. I was happy to be able to share this blend with a fellow Fibro gal I met tonight. I wish her luck!
We are also going to try diffusing Thieves Blend where we our sleeping because our cocker spaniel has a respiratory infection.
So the Fibro Report for today is:
Pain Level: 4-5
Fatigue Level: 7-8
Activities Yesterday: normal, housework, Mom work, etc.
Oils Applied: Songbird Blend, Raindrop in a bottle, Exodus II, Valor
Incidental Oils: Valor, Lavender, Thieves.
